“Michelle Tavares passed away on Thursday, April 17th. She has struggled with depression most of her life, but now she is again reunited with her beloved Sammy. Her impact on the world and family will never be forgotten. Her heart was so filled with all the love she had for others, that she forgot to make space for herself. We all wish she was still here with us, but we take solace in the fact that she is away from all her troubles and is at eternal peace. The main reason for this post was for the truth of what happened and has been happening to her since her childhood, contrary to what her family is saying is the cause of death. Michelle committed su*cide from a self inflicted gunshot wound to her head while walking a trail in Philadelphia. She left a note stating why she did it and what she had to endure whilst living with her family. Her older brother Christian Tavares (25) has been her abuser and rap*st since she was a child and her parents did nothing about it. Currently Christian has authority over handling her casket, her funeral, and burial when it's not at all what Michelle would want. Michelle has always voiced her opinions on him and yet her family continues to hide the abuse and disgusting behavior to protect an image they have as a family. Michelle's Siblings, Zully & Justin Tavares and her friends would appreciate it if you guys would share this and pass on the information to shed light on her story and what she had to endure while she was with us. It's what she should've wanted, the truth”
